Was Pacino assumed to be gay in the early part of his career?
Just noticed that no less than 3 of his early films have gay overtones.
Scarecrow - Pacino is raped by a gay prison trustee.
Dog Day Afternoon - Pacino plays a gay bank robber trying to finance his lover's sex change.
Cruising - Say no more. Probably the most overtly gay film in American history, pre-2010s.
People back then must have had theories about him, right?
